Fire-rated drywall in Westmount, installed to code

Fire-rated drywall is not optional where the code calls for it — garage-to-house separations, basement suites and party walls in a Westmount home all need Type X board in a rated assembly to pass inspection and keep the home safe. In Westmount we install fire-rated drywall to code and finish it clean. Westmount is one of Okotoks’s older, established neighbourhoods, so the work in Westmount leans toward popcorn and stipple ceiling removal, settling-crack repair and refinishing tired original drywall in Westmount homes now well past their first few decades. We cover Westmount and all of Okotoks, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of fire-rated drywall in Westmount?

Area and assembly in Westmount

The cost in Westmount depends on the area and the rated assembly required — a single-layer Westmount garage ceiling is different from a two-layer party wall. Type X board costs more than standard, and the rating dictates the build-up in a Westmount home. We price off the spec and a site look.

Passing inspection in Westmount

The common rated jobs in Westmount are garages and suites. The rating only holds if the assembly is built and sealed exactly to spec, so we install it to code and seal penetrations properly in Westmount so your project passes the first time.

Our Westmount fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up in Westmount

In Westmount we confirm the required rating, then install the correct Type X board in the right layers — the assembly, not just the board, is what carries the rating in a Westmount home.

Seal and finish in Westmount

Penetrations and edges are where a rated assembly fails, so we firestop and seal them in Westmount, then tape and finish the board clean. You get an inspection-ready, code-compliant Westmount separation that also looks finished. Where Westmount still has stipple, we check how many coats are on it before deciding to match or remove.

Fire-rated garages, suites and party walls in Westmount

Garage firewalls in Westmount

The most common fire-rated job in Westmount is the garage-to-house separation — Type X board on the common wall and ceiling. We install and finish it to code in Westmount.

Legal suites and party walls in Westmount

Basement legal suites and multi-unit party walls are frequent in Westmount. We build the rated separations these require. See our legal suite drywall page for more on Westmount suite conversions. Removal is a frequent Westmount request, and the age of the ceiling decides how that work is approached.

How Westmount homes affect the work

Homes in Westmount are settled, so the fire-rated drywall is more often repair and refinish than new board — and the repair has to disappear into a surface that has aged.

Stipple ceilings turn up throughout Westmount, often with more than one layer from earlier repairs, and each layer changes how the new work has to be feathered.

Popcorn ceilings are still in place in parts of Westmount. Anything from that era is treated as unknown until its age is established, and handled accordingly.
